Not just any white hat. It comes from “The Trump Store."

Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.

I understood what you are saying, and appreciate the work you do!

[exahusted, under-resourced parent] I just want what’s best for my kids

[info environment] here’s a ton of bullshit

[public health guy] I empathize, trying to find what’s good and what’s not is really hard with all the bullshit

[bluesky] you, personally, have murdered these kids. I must post.
